How to Make Excellent Crepes

Hello everyone! The Holiday Season is in full swing, which means one thing. Delicious, fattening, sweet, glorious food! From cookies, to strudel, to old family recipes it’s truly the most wonderful time of the year. So I would like to share a favorite breakfast of mine that you could use as your next holiday treat.

Crepes are a deliciously thin food that can be presented in a plethora of ways. I love cooking them for friends and family, and the best part is seeing what people do with their breakfast. Below is a link to my favorite crepe recipe, and then I will explain a few tips to make them great.

A few tips for perfect crepes:

Use a non-stick pan.

Respray the pan with Pam before each new crepe you cook. Crepes should be able to slide around on the pan easily.

Never put the pan over medium heat.

If your crepe looks too puffy, flatten it with the spatula while still in the pan.

Place the crepes on top of aluminum foil to keep them warm and moist until it’s time to eat.

Once all the crepes have been cooked, it’s time to have a lot of fun. You can use toppings such as whipped cream, Nutella, honey, fruit, syrup, peanut butter, etc. My favorite crepes are Nutella crepes and honey crepes. You can keep the crepes flat, roll them, or fold them. For a little holiday flair, you could try Christmas sprinkles, or add a little peppermint extract to the batter.

With your crepes have some milk, coffee, or hot chocolate. I prefer coffee with irish creamer and whipped cream on top/

I hope you all enjoy this new and delicious holiday treat. Stay safe everyone, and Merry Christmas!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
